Annette is an accredited clinical counsellor, career coach and trainer whose areas of interest include highly sensitive people, work-place conflict, stress management and bullying, domestic violence, veterans and immigrants. An empathetic listener, Annette supports her clients to identify their life challenges, working with them to manage and overcome them. She believes these challenges often reveal an underlying desire to make changes to their professions and careers. Annette uses person-centred counselling alongside solution-focused counselling, often incorporating art therapy and mindfulness techniques into her practice. Many of Annette’s clients are people seeking career changes. After consulting with her they are able to reset, refresh and regroup and acknowledge they can have a successful ambitious career while looking after their mental health at the same time. They are able to find the courage to speak up and negotiate with a newfound assertiveness. Annette loves seeing the new sense of clarity in her clients as they realise they can be happy, healthy and strong. Annette began her career as a career guidance counsellor then undertook a Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy whilst living in India. She is also qualified as an art teacher. Born in Denmark, Annette has worked in five different countries and is constantly curious about life. Read more
